Online connection to Shooter Game doesnt work by using iP

Hey,
i have tried to set up a Online connection between my PC and Laptop.
If i host a game with my PC by going to ingame Menu “Host->FreeForAll”, i can find and join that game in refreshed Server-list by going to “Join->Server”. Everything is fine!

If i host a game by using an edited shortcut (mymap?listen -game) i can create that game (I can read “Server” in upper left corner).
BUT i can not join that game with my second device, which has also an editet shortcut (“ipaddress -game”). loading screen is infinite.
After that i tried to join by using console commands (“open mymap?listen” and “open ipadress”) but that didn work too, loading screen is infinite again.

So my only way to set up an online connection is to do that in Main Menu.

Whats wrong with that?
